NEW YORK. Sept. 29-There WAS little
business of interest in the stock market
to-day, trading being confined almost en-
tirely to room traders, and although the
range OF quotations was upon a higher
level, especially in the morning, the e.
forts OF traders were unsuccessful in
bringing prices back to yesterdays fig
urag. There WAS g moderately bullish
feeling on the street, principally from the
good impression lett by the conference of
bankers and the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, and what news WAS received proved
TO be Of favorable nature. Traders
were persistent in their efforts to bring
about e lower ~ange of values,
however, and brought sleCial pressure to
near upon Reading, which, though still
most active, was much quiater than yes
terdEy. Van terbilt's New England and
Union Pacific were st times specially
strong, but the list s5 whole was Tea
tureless throughout the day. The open

advance over yesterdays final figures,
while Richmond and West Point were eN-
Cepional with gain Of &C. There was
sons hesitation in the early trading and
prices reCeded below the opening figures,

veloped and advanced ell along the

How to Cook Hot Water .

The late Charles Delmonico used to
talk about the new hot-water cure.
He said the Delmonicos was the first
to recommend it to guests who COM
planned of having no appetite. Take
a cup of hot water and lemon and
you will feel better" was the formula
adopted. The lemon juice takes away
the insipidity Of hot water. For this
anti-bilious remedy the caterers charg-
ed the price of their best liquors
twenty-five cents or more), and it
certainly was a wiser way to spend
small change than in alcohol. Few
people know how to cook water"
Charles used to affirm. "The secret
is putting good fresh water into neat
kettle already quite warm and setting
the water to boil quickly, and then
taking it right off to use in tea or
coffee, or other drinks before it is
spoiled. To let it steam and simmer
and evaporate until all the good wa
ter is all in the atmosphere and the
lime and iron dregs only left in the
kettle-bah that is what makes a
great many people sick, and is worse
than no water at ALL" Every lady
who reads this valuable recipe of a
great and careful cook should never
forget how to cook water.-Ex.

Which IL Growing Popular.
Is there any thing new in gemsp'
a well-known dealer in precious stones
was asked.
1.-THE only thing l can think of at
this moment" replied the dealer, lis
the golden beryl, which has recently
made its appearance in the jewelry
market. The distinctive feature OF
this stone is that it is native only in
this country. 1t has been pronounced
by Prof. Dana, of Yale College, as
different In color from any thing he
has ever before seen. Beryl stones
have been discovered in both hemi-
spheres, and include various colors,
among them the emerald and aqua
marine. Formerly it was classified as
II different species from the emerald,
but modern mineralogists classify the
fine green tint as the same species.
The beryl has never attained any
great popularity in this country, but
in England it il priced rs highly as the
topaz in Spain. A blue beryl sur
mounts the glove in the crown of Great
Britain. In the Hope collection, in
London, there is a single gem which Is
valued at $4,000. A specimen of aqua
marine beryle found in Russia in 1927
was valued at $ll.6oO. Many beryl
gems have been brought here from ST.
IBERIA, but as the stone was not gener-
ally known it was called by some other
name-as the sapphire and other ORR
entail stones. The bcryl is always
found in deposits Of mica, with granite
or gneiss. The golden beryl was dis
covered In mine Of this character in
Connecticut. 1t is found attached to
a rock composed of quartz. turmaline.
spar and mica. Other bcryls have been
found there, but much was Opaque and
unfit for gems.
"After the golden beryl had boon de-
clared to be new mineral II was
placed in the hands Of a lapidary to be
cut into gems. The result was the pro-
duction Of a gem which has excited
considerable study and interest in the
diamond trade. Three shades of golden
colors were obtained. One was pro-
nounced, and the other a shade less
than this and trifle deeper than the
third, which is faint. Its hardness 10
81 as compared with the diamond
standard of 10 by actual test. This
quality has been found sufficient to en-
able it to obtain its brilliancy. Its spe-
cific gravity is 20 per cent. less than
the diamond, and Its density ranks
next to that most precious of stones.
Its transparency is greater than Is
characteristic of other colored gems,
and the play of light il affords is some.
what similar to that of the diamond.
The gems are being used in bracelets.
brooches, rings and ornamental de-
signs for evening wear, and in nearly
every instance are mounted with dia-
monds. They rank in value with
stones other than diamonds. They are
being exported in limited numbers TO
London and the continent, and have
been shown by the the court jewell
ers. The crystals have been found in
small quantities, and II is question
whether many more will be obtained.
But even as IL Is, the deposit is consid.

And then, one day. there came post
to Stanberry that the battle of Eutaw

the slain was Colonel Asher Bradshaw.

"And at last, one afternoon in late
autumn, Asher Bradshaw, riding slow

and saw once more the loved meadows

that he caught no sight Of the face he

nigh the gate, there was rustling of

screening hedge a glimpse of slender
figure, and he refined in his horse with
